St. Patty's Day Corned Beef and Cabbage – in a Slow Cooker
- 1 (your choice in size) Corned beef brisket
- 1 -2 peeled carrot and chopped into chunks
- 1 cabbage , quartered
- 10 smalls potatoes
- 1 tablespoon dried mustard
- 4 cups water, apple juice or beef broth*
- 1 cup brown sugar (optional)
1. Place brisket, vegetables and mustard inside the slow cooker. Pour the liquid over the ingredients until they are just covered.
2. Turn the slow cooker on low and cook for 8 to 10 hours. If using a high temperature, cook for 4 to 5 hours.
Notes: * Use of water will net a traditional taste. The apple juice gives a sweeter flavor (in combination with the brown sugar), and the broth will give the beef a meatier flavor.
If you like cabbage to be crispy, place it in the slow cooker about halfway through the cooking.
